Janet believes that wellness retreats like Women of the Rancho, which she has created and facilitated, can provide an opportunity for women to reset, refresh, and recharge from the demands and stressors of daily life. As a women’s wellness retreat coach, her retreats focus on forging friendships with like-minded women and immersing oneself in nature while having fun.

This year, Janet has relocated her horse-based wellness retreat for women to the luxury Alisal Ranch outside of Solvang, California, which is just a 30-minute drive from Santa Barbara. Women of the Rancho is for women who love to trail ride and focuses on wellness in a beautiful ranch setting in Santa Ynez valley. Although she is not a horse trainer, as a women’s wellness retreat coach, Janet has seen first-hand that horses and horse activities offer a path for growing and healing.
